Job Description
AECOM has a position opening for a Lead Electrical Engineer to support our growing Energy Business Line. For this role, AECOM offers the freedom and flexibility to work remotely and/or be located at a variety of Energy offices located in multiple locations across the United States through our Freedom to Grow program.
Our team provides a wide range of electrical engineering services across markets sectors including transmission (substations, OH/UG transmission systems, generator interconnections, interconnection strategy), power distribution (OH/UG power systems, substations, EV charging networks, microgrid design, etc.), renewables (Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems, Wind), and next generation energy (hydrogen, fuel cells, electrolyzers, etc.). We are looking for a strong leader with a heavy industry and electrical engineering background to mentor team and promote our skills to new clients as well as maintain our existing client base. Qualified candidates will have a strong technical background coupled with leadership/supervisory experience.
The successful candidate is expected to be a detail orientated, experienced engineer who can make decisions independently. The responsibilities of this role also include, but may not be limited to, the following:
Responsible for the electrical engineering design work on assigned projects; capable to work independently with minimal
Provide mentorship to other electrical engineers within the Energy Center of Excellence and other remote teams
Supporting the Chief Electrical engineer on developing workload forecasts, design schedules and budgets for electrical engineering work activities
Performing Power system studies (load flow, short circuit, protective coordination, arc flash analysis)
Directing electrical infrastructure physical layout
One line and three-line diagrams
Developing construction and electrical equipment specifications
Protective relay and metering one line / three-line diagrams
